Google Pulls Stadia Controller Conversion Tool as Community Mirrors Keep It Alive

The shutdown follows two extensions that carried the utility from its 2023 launch through the end of 2025.

Overview

  • The official stadia.google.com/controller page now returns an Error 404 after lingering beyond Google's December 31, 2025 cutoff.
  • Independent developer Christopher Klay is hosting a working mirror on GitHub, allowing owners to convert unmodified controllers.
  • The browser-based process switches the Stadia pad from Wi‑Fi to generic Bluetooth, enabling use with phones, tablets, PCs and services like Steam.
  • Reporters accessed the site as late as January 19 before it became inaccessible on January 20, signaling the tool’s final removal.
  • The archived copy is expected to work because Google did not issue further firmware updates for converted controllers.
